Fat Tony’s AI picks
3. Royal Belle
Two on the bounce, peachy draw and Dunn aboard—this Belle looks the real deal, mate.
1. Hawk Touie Louie
The ace alley and solid Addington record make this Lou a dangerous fresh customer.
11. Mickey Holler
Tough third against sharper youngsters; the second-row trip can see him rattling home.
4. Taumutu Lad
Gets his best draw in ages and he’s been knocking on the door—include the lad.
9. Lous Pinup Girl
Wide marble is the snag, but Tim Williams and her honest closing form demand respect.

Race context
Race preview
LOUS PINUP GIRL (9) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing sixth at her latest appearance over 1980m at this track, beaten 8 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Has the ability to take care of this field. ROYAL BELLE (3) showed plenty of fight to score last time out over 2000m at Rangiora, getting home by just 2 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Stepping up a level this time but she is good enough to take this out. HAWK TOUIE LOUIE (1) ended last prep with a second at this track over 1980m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. MICKEY HOLLER (11) showed pleasing improvement last time out when third over 1980m at this track. Each-way chance.
